Forum Rules

Rule Zero: Be friendly, courteous, and considerate. Do not troll, flame, harass, spam or insult others. This is the basic principle rule, and the other rules below are manifestations of it to give examples of what behaviors are not acceptable and to clarify unclear cases that are reported or observed. Note, Rule Zero is not limited by the rules below and will be the guiding principle that the moderators will use. Although some rules will have penalties, the rules mentioned below serve primarily as an example for guidance for moderators only. The assigned moderator will decide the actual penalty. All rules will be monitored and intervened at the moderatorsí discretion.

1. Harassment: Harassment of all kinds including but not limited to sexual, racial, cultural, religious or of individuals or groups are strictly prohibited. Failure to comply will result in an infraction or a ban. Posting of members personal information without their consent will be considered as extreme harassment. This can result in an automatic ban.

2. Responsibility of OP: Take a moment of consideration before creating a topic. Make sure that you post the topic in the relevant section and ensure that the contents are appropriate. Topicís title should be as descriptive as possible. Also, an opening post should have something more than just a link, picture, or a video. Do not create the same topic over and over; this will be considered as spamming.

3. Responsibility of Poster: please be considerate of other members' sensibilities and refrain from typing in all caps. Do not go off topic or derail the main point of OP. Do not make ambiguous posts or start/egg on a fight. When posting news or evidence in an argument, please include the original link and comply fully with copyright laws. Failure to do so may result in a deleted post or penalty.

4. Multiple Accounts: Do not open more than one account. Do not share your account with others or use another person's account. Failure to follow this rule may result in an infraction or a ban.

5. Spamming, Linking and Hacking: Spamming is not allowed. If you want to advertise your site, please contact the Admin. Do not spam this site with advertisements, or your account will be banned, and all your posts and messages will automatically be deleted. Links directing to unsafe sites that contain any viruses, malware, or trojans are strictly prohibited. Hacking is not tolerated. Failure to abide by this rule will result in proxy ban, ISP ban, or in major case, prosecution.

6. Graphics: Materials depicting porn, nudity, sex, gore, and/or excessive violence are prohibited. Your posts will be deleted or edited, and you may receive penalties. Avatar size must be a maximum of 150x150 pixel. No oversized signature (signature should not take up more than 1/3 of the page vertically). Chatbox pictures must not exceed 500x500 pixels. Failure to follow this rule so will result in a warning. Multiple violations may result in an infraction.

7. Trashcan: The Spam Box section is not actively moderated. Do not report a post in this section unless there were excessive attacks and/or personal information was released to public eyes without your consent (i.e., your personal data or picture).

8. Systems: Do not abuse the chatbox, PM box, profile comment section, reputation system, blog section, avatar, signature, reports system or any other part of this forum to spam or harass members. It is against the rule to use these systems other than for the purposes they were designed for.

9.9-11 General Behavior: Watch your language. Vulgarity and profanities are not allowed. Do not instigate a fight, personally attack, use profanity or taunt other members. Abuse of the negative reputation system is not allowed. Respect all members and do not flame or troll.

10.Racism is not allowed. Do not offend any ethnic or racial group or degrade other ethnicity. This counts as aggression/instigator to other races.

11. Any member may provide evidence of a member if they had been the victim of trolling or bullying. These evidence will be showed to the court. If the victim/defendant did not retaliate and was proven to be falsely accused or bullied he/she will be justified. The instigator will receive an infraction or a ban. As a form of Amnesty, all incidences before 3/11/2017 are not considered eligible for rule 11.
